In plant breeding programs, the knowledge about the appropriate sample size for the evaluation of populations is very important. A small sample reduces the chance of selecting superior genotypes, whereas a very large sample may lead to unnecessary increases in…

The objective of this study was to establish an isolated microspore culture (IMC) protocol in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for use in genetic studies and to evaluate its potential for routine use in the Brazilian Wheat Breeding Program at Embrapa…

The bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857), also called golden mussel, is native to Asia but becoming dispersed around the world. The golden mussel resembles the invasive dreissenid bivalves in many respects, and although much less studied it evidently has broader…

Information about the inheritance of threshold traits is scarce, especially in plants. We examined the genetic control of kernel row number in maize (Zea mays). Knowledge of this inheritance is especially important because it is a primary component of grain…

The combination of soil science, forestry, agronomy and biology allowed an analytical comparison of various experimental mixed culture systems. From these studies, a descriptor system was developed which allows to understand the contribution of each plant species to nutrient cycling,…

The demand for agricultural products has been increasing in all countries in the last decades. Together with the decrease in natural resources and the possible impacts to agriculture caused by climatic changes, this aspect has aroused concerns in terms of…

Research on self-regulated learning (SRL) in hypermedia-learning environments is a growing area of interest. One major issue is the role of prior knowledge, which can influence how students interact with hypermedia-learning systems in terms of their use of SRL strategies.…
